In sports, everyone is a winner—some people just win better than others. Like the people of New Jersey's shooting-est city, who managed to make it an entire month without getting murdered. This is actually an accomplishment in Newark.

Thirteen more days of not killing each other and they can set a record, which would be nice. They're even solving murders from 30 years ago. It's not exactly crime-free yet, but things are heading in the right direction. They still have the same number of killings this year as the Nets have wins this season, but that's more of a basketball problem now. Moving downtown to the Prudential Center this fall, could actually help the turnaround of both parties.

The only possible downside to this non-murder trend is that they become a city of people who can't be killed and then you know ... War of the Undead. Which is still kinda cool, when you think about it.
